Your best option is to buy a late model truck with the drive line options you want and put POWER WAGON sheetmetal on it.

That will eliminate the issue of making driveline components fit the chassis. It also resolves issues of frame strength with the higher powered driveline. You might have to modify the wheelbase, though.

It's much easier to adapt body mounts.

You can often buy a good chassis and driveline from a roll-over from an insurance company. If you use a truck that has not been wrecked, you usually can sell the late model body parts to repair shops.
